Breakdown:

Jonathan Stewart was one of those guys who had highlight reels you could not believe in high school. He struggled in his first season but began to show his ability in year two, averaging 7.2 yards per carry. Stewart has numerous skills, excellent balance and surprising speed. Plus he'll run over you.

Overall, Stewart will have to prove to be more consistent. He'll get over 1000 yards and set himself up for the NFL but it will be tough to get invited to New York.

The "Other" Jonathan Stewart

No, I’m not talking about the infamous host of The Daily Show. Nor am I talking about a guy who pokes fun at a certain Mr. Bush. Who I am talking about is maybe the most talented tailback in America that no one knows about. Some fans may, however, compare this man to another Bush of sorts. Not the former, of course, being President George W. Bush, but Reggie Bush, the infamous USC tailback who tore up defenses across this great land of ours just a few years back with his electrifying all-around athleticism and playmaking ability.

Folks, the man that I am referring to is the “other” Jonathan Stewart. The junior running back/return extraordinair for the University of Oregon Ducks. Not only does this hunger-filled, talented back display the unique athleticism, hands, and instantaneous playmaking ability of Bush, but he does it all at a whopping 230 lbs.! There’s no mistaking that almost every single one of these pounds is made of pure, unadulterated, game-breaking muscle.

During his illustrious 4-year career at Timberline High School in the state of Washington, Stewart’s numbers were flat-out gaudy, if not remarkable. Here are some of his accomplishments:

- Eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing in all four years of high school.
- Rushed for 7,755 yards and 95 TD’s in his high school career.
- Voted 1st team all-state in both junior and senior years by the Seattle Times and Tacoma News Tribune.
- Single-game best totals of 422 yards, and 9 TD’s!
- Finalist for the Walter Payton Award as the nation’s top prep player after the 03'-04' season.
- #2 prep recruit in the country according to ESPN.com.
- 2004 Army All-American game participant.

After red-shirting during the 04'-05' campaign, Stewart was poised and ready to show the football world just what he was capable of. In my opinion, there are four major attributes that showcase Stewart’s all-around football arsenal: 1) Power, 2) Hands/Finesse, 3) Playmaking ability, and 4) Speed/Pure Athleticism. read more...
